HYDRAA Reclaims 317 Acres in Hyderabad, Says ₹15,000 Crore in Public Land Protected

Officials say a six-month probe identified illegal layouts, with genuine poor homes to be spared.

Overview

  • Teams moved into Gajularamaram in Qutbullapur to clear illegal ventures, sheds and guard posts, with fencing now being installed around reclaimed parcels.
  • Authorities said 275 acres earlier handed to the State Finance Corporation were taken back, while about 40 acres housing economically weaker families would not be demolished.
  • Protests flared at the site and police removed demonstrators after stone pelting damaged equipment, with some protesters detained.
  • HYDRAA cited rackets that sold 50–120 sq yd plots using fake pattas and said complaints would be filed against local politicians, brokers and officials involved.
  • The clearance, covering survey numbers including 307, 329/1 and 342, is valued between ₹12,000 crore and ₹15,000 crore as part of a wider drive to recover public assets across Hyderabad.
